Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Parameter Description
Virtual Router The ID of the virtual switch you are creating by
ID (VRID) configuring multiple devices as redundant links. You
must configure the same VRID on each device that
you want to use to back up the links.
Timer scale The value used by the software to calculate all VSRP
timers. Increasing the timer scale value decreases
the length of all the VSRP timers equally, without
changing the ratio of one timer to another.
Interface Parameters
Authentication The type of authentication the VSRP devices use to
type validate VSRP packets. On Routing Switches, the
authentication type must match the authentication
type the VRID's port uses with other routing protocols
such as OSPF.

VSRP device Whether the device is a VSRP Backup for the VRID.
type
All VSRP devices for a given VRID are Backups.
VSRP ports The ports in the VRID's VLAN that you want to use as
VRID interfaces. You can selectively exclude
individual ports from VSRP while allowing them to
remain in the VLAN.

Table 10.4: VSRP Parameters (Continued)
No authentication – The interfaces do not use
authentication. This is the VRRP default.
Simple – The interface uses a simple text-string
as a password in packets sent on the interface. If
the interface uses simple password
authentication, the VRID configured on the
interface must use the same authentication type
and the same password.
No authentication – The device does not accept
incoming packets that have authentication
strings.
Simple – The device uses a simple text-string as
the authentication string for accepting incoming
packets.
